Description

The main attraction of the tour is Cold War Museum near Plateliai. Cold War Museum is located in the former Soviet Union`s complex of ballistic missile silo launch. Since 1963 up to 1978, there had been deployed four medium- range ballistic missiles SS-4, armed with 2-megaton power thermonuclear warheads.

Itinerary

20 min

Plateliai, a town located on the western shore of Plateliai Lake in the Samogitian National Park, is deservedly known as one of the most beautiful towns in the region. The interesting and charming Plateliai has quite a number of tourist attractions, including a nice central town square, a neat wooden Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, and the Plateliai Manor Homestead with a well-groomed park.

30 min

The lake Plateliai is one of the main attractions in the park. It is also the clearest, cleanest and the deepest lake with seven islands, each having its own legend. There is a viewing platform quite close. This viewing platform overlooks Lake Plateliai panoramic view together with Pliksalės, Pilies, Veršių islands, Šventorkalnis peninsula and Plokštinė forests.

Admission included90 min

The museum is housed in a former Soviet Union underground ballistic missile launch facility. Between 1963 and 1978, as many as four medium-range ballistic missiles with powerful thermonuclear warheads were deployed there. Those missiles were then targeted at certain Western European countries. The exhibits of the Cold War Museum will show and reveal in detail many interesting facts about one of the most dangerous and longest wars in the history of humanity, its impact on Europe, and the dangers posed by nuclear weapons. The exhibits of the museum – unique visual and graphic material – will ‘tell’ the story of the peculiarities of the organization and operation of this top secret nuclear weapon facility. The museum is an ideal place to enhance your knowledge of history.

15 min

Brief stop in the Theatre Square, the centre of which is decorated by a beautiful and graceful sculpture of the Ann from Tharau.

Avoided the Large Tour Bus Cruise Crowds

We booked this as an excursion from the cruise port. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to tour the missile base before the large groups arrived. Highly recommend this tour if you hope to avoid the large tour bus cruise crowds. It was well worth it for us!

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re very glad you enjoyed the tour and that arriving early allowed you to explore the missile base before the larger cruise groups. It’s great to hear that your guide’s knowledge and friendly approach made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you again for recommending the tour, and we hope to welcome you back to Klaipėda someday! 💚

Monday, August 11th, private day tour.

I had been communicating with Klaipeda Tours via email since June. I was very interested in visiting the Cold War Museum. Interested in a private day tour for my wife and I. Communication start to finish with Klaipeda Tours, and Vita, was wonderful. We were able to arrange the tour, and I found the cost for the tour to be very reasonable. Plus, I really wanted to see this, and this was our last big tour of our 3 week tour of the Baltic States. We were picked up by our guide, and driver, Mindaugas. He was an awesome guide. And an excellent driver. He asked us right away if there was anything else special we wanted to see. We had no clue, so we asked him to show us what might interest us. And he was spot on. He took us to several churches, historical buildings, and scenic viewpoints. It was all very impressive. He was so nice to visit with during our tour. And the Cold War museum was awesome. He bought the tickets for us, then to my surprise, he ended up being our own personal tour guide for the entire visit. It worked out great, and he made our day very special. He never rushed us. This tour was well worth the time, effort, and cost. Thanks.

Operator response

Dear Mark, Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful and detailed review! We are delighted to hear that your experience with Klaipėda Tours – from the very first email to the last stop of your journey – was so positive. We are happy that the Cold War Museum visit met your expectations and that Mindaugas made the entire day special by tailoring the tour to your interests. Your kind words about his guiding, driving, and thoughtful approach mean a lot to us – be sure I will pass them along to him. It was our pleasure to be part of your Baltic adventure, especially as the final highlight of your three-week trip. Thank you for trusting us to organize such a memorable day for you and your wife. We hope to welcome you back to Lithuania someday for more discoveries! Best wishes, Vita🙂🫶

Highly recommend- amazing day with an amazing guide

Amazing day, hard to put into words.. We learnt so much from today that we will discuss for months or more to come. Was eye opening, knowledgeable and interesting, but also offered a thoughtful explanation of history. The tour was so much more than we expected and one of the very best private tours we’ve been on. A very qualified guide but also offers a personal perspective on history. Stunning sights and a tailored, fun and interesting day. Thanks so much

Operator response

Dear, Clients, Thank you so much for your kind words — we’re truly happy to hear the tour left such a strong impression.

Not to be missed

Both the guide and the driver were very well informed and willing to talk about almost anything. We took different routes to and from the nuclear missile plant so were able to see much more of the country while our guide told us about what we were seeing. The plant itself was very well done and very thought provoking. It surprised me that it was built after the 2nd world war

Operator response

It's so great that You enjoyed this tour 🙂 Best wishes from Klaipėda 🌞
